This week for our team has been mostly related to integration and collaboration. Hardware setup (wiring and basic hardware interfacing code) has been completed by Xiao, and hardware has been handed over to Qiaoan for further development on IMU algorithms. Yuxuan has acquired another RPi and has been doing development work on Bluetooth transmission and gamepad emulation on Windows. Both Xiao’s and Yuxuan’s parts have been demoed in our weekly meeting to all team members, and development on the gyro algorithm (Qiaoan’s part), as well as integration, is ongoing.
This weekend before our interim demo, we are all focusing on integration. After chatting with faculties on Monday, we decided that our demo should have a complete pipeline working, that is, from hardware key presses, to transferring hardware state over bluetooth, and eventually to reading hardware status on Windows and emulating an XBOX controller.
We are on schedule for now. Integration has its difficulties and quirks, but we have planned for that and have two days working on it. Current expectation for interim demo is unchanged.
